Crash that injured state senator involved 2 vehicles, not 1

WATERFORD, Conn. (AP) Police now say an accident in Waterford that injured state Sen. Andrew Maynard involved two vehicles not just Maynard's as initally reported.

Authorities say the Stonington Democrat was driving on Route 32 Thursday afternoon when his vehicle struck an SUV, then went down an embankment. The cause is under investigation.

Maynard's condition isn't known. A spokesman for Lawrence + Memorial Hospital in New London told The Day newspaper that he could not respond to questions about Maynard.

Pietro Scelfo of Uncasville told The Day that his wife saw Maynard in her rearview mirror approaching rapidly and swerving just before striking her SUV.

A spokesman for state Senate Democrats says Maynard was cleared to drive after suffering a traumatic brain injury during a fall at his home in 2014.
